I've always had a role outside of a tech team to leverage my expertise for non-tech teams to quickly build MVPs. A kind of free electron while reporting to several C-levels (CEO, CTO, CMO, CPO)

A focus oriented towards growth / marketing. The goal being to help the company grow effectively and quickly (through time-consuming task automation and tons of web crawlers to collect and centralize various data)

Without needing to wait for the TECH team which is already overloaded with an ambitious roadmap that no longer has room for innovation and several iterations on non-product MVPs (but a successful MVP is generally integrated into the product later)

Some successful examples (non-exhaustive list):

- About thirty real estate listing web crawlers

- A multi-posting interface on various job boards + tracking and expense monitoring (in collaboration with a front-end developer)

- 1st step of B2B lead enrichment first contact (name and surname of a management position)

- 2nd step of B2B lead enrichment (email, phone)

- HubSpot automations that make life easier for Sales

And many diverse and varied projects, but especially FUN. Always up for a challenge, to learn, and especially to have a direct impact in a very short time

The secret of a growth engineer is to iterate as quickly as possible and rely on feedback to correct and improve according to expectations. Therefore, one must avoid seeking perfection from the start for fear of wasting time before the first feedback (which also implies that too much time spent on perfection = fewer iterations)
